^         A  NJTVV  PRONOUNCI^fG  SPELLING  BOOK 

A  letter  is  the  first  principle  or  the  least,  part  of  a  word,' 
letters  compose  syllables,  and  syllables  compose  \vords ; 
words  compose  sentences,  and  sentences  rightly  combined 
together,  form  a  discourse  ;  so  by  these  few  elementary- 
sounds,  which  are  the  first  principles  of  articulate  or  hu- 
man voice,  we  become  capable  of  expicssing  and  commu- 
nicating our  innumerable  ideas  and  sentiments.  The  fol- 
lowing  lb  an  exact  definition  of  a  vowel  and  consonant.  A 
vowel  i  J  a  simple  articulate  sound  complete  in  itself,  and 
formed  by  one  effusion  of  the  breath,  without  any  change 
of  position  of  the  organs  of  speech,  from  the  instant  the 
sound,  begins,  until  it  ends.  A  consonant -is  a  simple  ar-^ 
liculatt  sound  in  itself  imperfect,  but  joined  with  a  vowel 
produces  a  complete  sound,  by  a  contact  of  the  organs  of 
speech.  Consonants  may  be  divided  into  mutes  and  semi 
vowels,  b,  p.  t,  d,  k,  and  c  and  g  hard,  being  mutes  cannot 
be  sounded  without  the  addition  of  a  vowel ;  f,  1,  m,  n,  r, 
V,  s,  z.  X,  and  c  and  g  soft,  being  semi  vowels,  have  an 
imperfect  sound  of  thr mselves  ;  1,  m,  n,  r,  are  called  liquids 
from  their  flowing  as  it  were,  into  the  sounds  of  otl  er  con- 
sonants. The  union  of  two  vowels  produced  Dv  a  single 
impulse  of  the  voice,  is  called  a  diphthong  j  asow  in  sound. 
The  union  of  three  vowels  in  like  manner,  is  callea  a  triph- 
thong ;  as  icw  in  view,  A  proper  diphthong  has  both  the 
vowels  sounded  as  oi  in  voice.  An  improper  diphthong 
iias  but  one  of  the  vowels  sounded,  as  ca  in  eagle. 

THE  SOUND  OF  THE  LETTERS  IN  GENERAL^

V  has  one  uniform  sound,  as  love,  vain,  dove. 

W  when  a  consonant  has  nearly  the  sound  of  oa,  as  in 
water,  but  sometimes  quicker  ;  it  differs  from  the  sound  of 
00,  in  not  taking  the  article  a/i  before  it,  which  00  will  .»  it 
is  not  sounded  in  the  words  wholesome,  sword  or  answer  5 
it  is  mute  before  r,  as  wrinkle,  wrist,  when  w  is  a  vowel,  ij 
is  sounded  like  u,  as  outlaw,  TO^el. 

X  has  three  sounds,  viz  :  it  is  sounded  like  z,  at  the  be* 
^ginning  ol  proper  names  of  Greek  original,  as  in  Xanthus  ; 
it  has  a  sharp  sound  like  ks,  ending  a  syllable  with  the  accent 
upon  it,  as  exit,  or  when  the  accent  is  on  the  next  syllable  ; 
ii  it  begins  with  a  consonant,  as  excuse  ;  it  has  generuliy  -4 
fiat  sound  like  ^z  when  the  accent  is  not  on  it,  as  eg  zcrt,  eg 
Ziamplc.  ,.^ 

When  Y  is  a  consotiant,  it  has  nearly  the  sound  of  ^^,  but 
when  a  vowel,  it  has  the  sound  of  i,  as  parly,  fancy. 

Z  has  the  sofi  close  sound  of  s  in  zealous,  zest. 

Here  it  may  be  remembered,  that  the  sound  of  ihc  letttrs 
in  genera^  very  much  depend:^  upon  their  position  and  con-. 
neciion  with  other  letters.

is  called  \  monosyllable  ;  a  word  of  two  sylluSles,  a  dissyllabic  ^ 

ord  of  tlirte  syllables  ii  tnss\  liable,  and  a  n^ord  of  four  or  more 

lables,  a  polysyllable.     The  Orthography  of  the  English  lanofua^c 

IS  uncertain  and  perplexed,  hut    a  great  part  of  this  inconvenience 

may  be  removed  by  the  knowledge  of  the  received  laws  of  (orma'

RULE  4, 

Words  accented  upon  the  last  syllable  and  monosylV 
(vkh  a  single  con^^onant,  preceded  by  a  single  vowel,  do 
onant,  when  they  take  another  syllable  beginning  with  ^  vowei,   as

I,  tlic  preceding  syllable,  the  consonant  is  not  doubled,  as  tail,  jfil-

RULE  5. 

Compound  words  are   commonly    spelled,  as  the  simple    v 
from  w  hich  they  are  deriv^ed,  as  dwelling-house,  ball-room, 

/'V,  therefore. 

RULE  6. 

When  tlie  termination  ish  or  ing,  is  added  to  words  ending  i.. 
silent  e,  the  e  is  generally  omitted,  as  fact,  facing,  trace,  tracing,  ape^ 

iipish. 

RLLE  7. 

-^riie  terminations  able  and  ible,  when  added  to  words  ending  with 
a  >silcnt  e,  generally  kave  out  e,  as  cure,  curable,  fence,  fenci- 
ble. 

If  c  or  g  soft,  come  before  e  in  the  primitive  word,  the  e  in  that 
t:ase  is  retained,  in  words  compounded  w^ith  able,  as  change,  change,- 
cCbk. 

RULE  8. 

if  words  er  ding  in  silent  e,  should  take  after  them  in  compositior 
tW*€  terminations  ful,  h\  less,  ness,  they -retain  tlie  Cy  ?is  rue,  ruefi 
{^ivse,  senseless,  tame,  tamely. 

RULE  9^ 

Words  which  end  with  any  double  letter  e^rceptl,  and  take  ftil. 
Tess,  or  ness,  ai'terthem,  retain  the  double  letter,  as  succesfty«ucce 
ful,  stifF,  stifiiy,  careless,  carelessness. 

We  have.the  authority  of  some  of  the  best  writers,  to  spell  sever  .u 
words  differently,  such  as  these  worc^  following  :  control,  controul,

i20  A  NEW  PRONOUiSrCING  SPEtLING  BOOK 

The  same  part  of  speech  is  pronciLnced  differenthj, 

buffet  a  capboard  to  conjure       to  deal  in  magick 

Duffet  a  blow  desert  merit 

to  conjiare       to  entreat  desert  wilderness 

Though  these  -words  have  been  touched  in  their  proper  place^  yet 
they  are  here  repeated  for  the  scholars  more  minute  peru- 
sal of  them. 

THE  young  reader  will  be  convinced,  by  experience,  that  the  analogy 
4and  strength  of  our  language  require  the  accent  to  be  placed  as  far  back 
as  possible  ;  this  is  the  true  reason  why  we  find  all  our  English  writers 
placing  it  upon  the  first  syllables  of  our  words  ;  while  we  s«e  the  writers 
of  other  languages,  particularly  the  French,  placing  it  upon  the  last  sylla- 
bles. 

Our  language,  though  the  finest  in  the  world,  could  not  escape  the  rude 
sarcasm  of  the  Batavian,  throwing  aside  his  pipe  and  red  herring,  be- 
"Comes  an  envious  and  clumsy  critick. 

Who    still  remembering  well  his  disgraced  navy  ; 
His  fallen  broom,  and  tars  sent  down  to  Davy. 

DUTCH    POETRY. 

'*'  Two  neighbours  do  my  unsocial  bounds  surround. 

With  whom  in  friendly  converse,  I  am  never  found. 

The  one  filled  with  beef  and  pudding,  to  his  brutish  chin,    ' 

Must  end  his  few  and  painful  words,  before  he  well  beg«. 

Thus  must  he,  his  cause  at  toreign  courts  prorogue, 

Untdhe  calls  upon  the  wild-man,  with  his  huge  brogue. 

The  other,  ever  flippant  on  his  meager  soup, 

-Has  too  much  lingo  for  a  whole  British  troop  : 

For  if,  of  foreign  news,  Monsieur  Pertinax  should  tell. 

He  allows  not  an  instant,  to  say  quelle  nouvelle.

THE  DERVISE. 

A  DERVISE  travelling  through  Tart^ij^',  being  arrived  at  the 
town  of  Balk,  went  into  the  king's  palace  by  mistake,  as  thinking 
it  to  be  a  public  inn  or  caravansaiy.     Having  looked  about  him 
ibr  some  time,  he  entered  into  a  long  galiery,^  where  he  laid  down 
his  wallet,  and  spread  his  carpet,  in  order  to  repose  himself  upon 
it  after  the  mramer   of  the  eastern  nations.     He   had  not  been 
long  in  this  posture  before  he   was  discovered  by  some  of  the 
guai'ds,   w^ho  asked  him  w^hat  was  his  business  in  that  place. 
'Die  Dervise  told  them  he  intended  to  take  u^?  his  night's  lodg- 
ing ill  that  caravansary.     The  guards  let  him   know,  in   a  very 
angrv  manner,  that  the  house  he  w^as  in  was  not   a  caravansary^ 
but  the  king's  palace.     It  happened  that  the  king  himself  passed 
hiough  the  galkry  during  this  debate,  and  smiling  at  the  mis- 
"ikc  of  the  Dervise,  asked  him  hovrhe  could  possibly  be  so  dull 
as  not  to  distinguish  a  palace  from  a  caravansarv.    Sir,  says  the 
Dervise,  give  me  leave  to  ask  )0ur  majeS|t\^  a  question  or  two. 
Who  were  the  persons  that  lodged  in  this  house  w^hen  it  was  first 
built  I  The  king  replied  his  ancestors.     And  w^ho,  says  the  Der- 
vise, Avas  the   last  person  that  lodged  here  ?  The  king  replied^ 
His  father.     And  who  is  it,  says  the   DcrvisCj  that  lodges  here 
at  present  ?  The  king  told  hiiii,  that  it  was  he  himself.     And  whA 
savs  the  Dervise,  will  be  here  after  you  ?  The  king-answ^ered,  the 
voung  prince  his  son.     ^'•Ah,  Sir,"  said  the  Dervise,  ''a   hou^e 
wh  \t  changes  its  inhabitants  so  often,  and  receives  such  a  perpe- 
tual succession  of  guests^  is  not  a  palace,  but  a  caravansary."

TURKISH  TALE. 

WE  are  toM  that  the  Sultan  Mahmoud,  by  his  perpetual  wa?^ 
abroad,  and  his  tyranny  at  home,  had  filled  his  dominions  with 
ruin  iind  desolation,  and  half  unpeopled  the  Persian  Empire.— 
The  visier  to  this  great  Sultan  (whether  an  humourist  or  an  en- 
tp.usiast,  w^c  are  not  informed)  pretended  to  haye  learned  of  a 
certain  Dervise  to  understand  the  language  of  birds,  so  that  there 
v^as  not  a  bird  that  could  open  his  mouth,  but  the  visier  knew

,  I  have  h.-ard  paitof  th^ir  conversation,  but  d:^r<*  not  tell  you 
hat  it  is.     The  Sultan  would  not  be  satisfied- with  such  an  an- 
.^vtr,  but  forced  him  to  repeat  word   for  word  ever}'  thing  the 
jwIs  had  said.     You  m^st  know  then,  said  thevisier,  diat  one 
1  these  owls  has  a  son,  and  the  other  ad  lUghter,  between  whom 
.cy  are  now  upon  a  treaty  of  marriage.     The  f^trher  of  the  son 
said  to  the  father  of  die  daughter,  in  m\'  h  r  jtlier,  I  con- 

sent to  this  marriage,  provided  you  will  s-.  ,i  your  daugh- 

ter fifty  ruined  villages  for  her  portion.     To  which  die  father  of

;  \ou  please.     God  grant  a  long  life  to  Sultan  Mahnioud  ;  whilst  ^

The  story  says,  the  Siiltmi  was  so  touched  with  the  fable,  that 
iic  rebuilt  the  towns  and  villages  which  had  been  dcstrov^ed,  and 
from  that  time  forwuvd  consulted  the  good  of  his  people.

Fleiir  amongthe  rest,, while  the  horses  \vere  getting  ready  ;  as  I 
continued  sitting  in  the  post-cilaise,  I  could  see  and  hear  ov^r 
their  heads. 

He  sj.idhe  had  come  last  from  Spain,  where  he  had  been  from. 
the  furthest  borders  of  Franconia  :  aiKl  had  got  so  far  on  his  re- 
turn home,  when  his  ass  died.  Everv  one  seemed  desirous  to 
know  what  business  could  have  taken  so  old  and  poor  a  man,  so. 
far  a  journey  from  his  own  home. 

It  had  pleased  Heav'en,  he  said,  to  bless  him  with  three  sons, 
the  finest  lads  in  all  Germany  ;  but  having  in  one  week  lost  two 
of  them  by  the  small-pox,  and  the  youngest  falling  ill  of  the  same 
distemper,  he  was  afraid  of  being  bereft  of  them  all,  and  made  a 
vow,  if  Heaven  would  not  take  him  from  him  also,  he  would  go 
m  e:ratiiude  to  St.  J  ago  in  Spain.^ 

When  the  mourner  got  thus  far  in  his  story,  he  stopped  to  pa/ 
nature  h(  r  tribute — and  wept  bitterly. 

He  said  Heaven  had  accepted  the  conditions  ;  and  that  he  had 
set  our  from  his  cottage  with  this  poor  creature,  who  bad  been 
a  patient  partner  of  his  journey — that  it  had  eat  the  same  bre?jd 
witli  him  all  the  way,  and  was  unto  him  as  a  friends 

Every  body  who  stood  about,  heard  the  poor  fellow  with  con- 
cern.    Le  Fteur  offered  him  monev — The  mourner  said  he  did 
not  want  it — it  was  not  the  value  of  the  ass — but  the  loss  of  him 
- — The  ass,  ht^  said,  he  was  assured,  loved  him — and  upon  this-- 
told  them  a  long  stor^  of  a  mischance  upon   their  passage  over- 
the  P^rrennaen  mountains,  which  had  separated  them  from  each  ■ 
other  three  davs  :  during  which  time  the:  ass  had  sought  him  as 
much  as  he  had  sought  the  ass,  and  that  neither  had  scarce  eat 
or  drank  till  the;/  met. 

Then  hast  one  comfort,  friend,  said  I,  at  least,  in  the  loss  of 
thy  poor  beast ;  I  am  sure  thou  hast  been  a  merciful  master  to  him 
' — Alas  !  s£i^^he  mourner,  I  thought  so,  when  he  was  alive'— 
but  now  he^Read  I  think  otherwise — I  fear  the  weight  of  my- 
seli  and  my  afflictions,  together  have  been  too  much  for  him-r-i 
they  have  shortened  the  poor  creature's  days,  and  i  fear  I  have 
them  to  answer  for. — Shixme  on  the  world  !  said  I  to  myself— 
Did  we  love  each  other,  as  this  poor  soul  but  lov'd  his  ass—-

Well,  Maria,  said  I  softly — ^What  resemblance  do  ^^ou  find  ? 

I  do  intreat  the  candid  reader  to  believe  me,  that  it  was  from 
the  humblest  conviction,  of  what  a  beast  man  is, — that  I  asked 
the  question  ;  and  that  I  would  not  have  let  fiUen  an  unseason- 
able pleasantry  in  the  venerable  presence  of  Misery,  to  be  enti- 
tled to  ail  the  wit  that  ever  Rabelais  scattered^ 

Adieu,  Maria  ! — adieu,  poor  hapless  damsel ! some  time, 

but  not  now,  I  may  hear  thy  sorrows  from  thy  own  lips but 

I  was  deceived  ;  for  that  moment  she  took  her  pipe,  and  told 
me  such  a  tale  of  woe  with  it,  that  I  rose  up,  and  with  brok^t^ 
and  irregiilar  steps  walked  softly  to  my  chaise. 


SECOND  PART, 

WHEN  we  had  got  within  half  a  league  of  Moulines,  at  3> 
little  opening  in  the  road  leading  to  a  thicket,  I  discovered  poor 
Maria  sitting  under  a  poplar — she  was  sitting  with  her  elbow  in  her 
lap,  and  her  head  leaning  on  one  side  within  her  hand — a  small 
brook  ran  at  the  foot  of  the  tree. 

I  bad  the  postilion  go  on  with  the  chaise  to  Moulines — and 
Le  Eleur  to  bespeak  my  supper-- — and  that  I  would  walk  aftei^ 
him. 

She  was  dressed  in  white,  and  much  as  my  friend  described 
her,  except  that  her  hair  hung  loose,  which  before  was  twisted 
with  a  silk  net.  She  had,  superadded  likewise  to  her  jacket,  a 
pale  gi'een  ribband  which  fell  across  her  shoulder  to  the  waist ; 
at  the  end  ot  which  hung  her  pipe.  Her  goat  had  been  as  faith- 
less as  her  lover ;  and  she  had  got  a  little  dog  in  lieu  of  him, 
which  she  had  kept  tied  by  a  string  to  htr  girdle ;  as  I  looked  at 
the  dog  she  drew  him  tovvards  her  with  the  string — "  Tnou  shalt 
not  leave  me,  Sylvio,"  said  she.  'I  looked  in  iVI aria's  e}-es,  and 
saw  she  wa^gihiiikiiig  more  of  her  faiher  than  of  her  lover  or  her 
littk  goat ;  For  as  she  uttered  them,  the  tears  trickled  down  her 
cheeks. 

I  sat  down  close  by  her;  and  Maria  let  me  wipe  them  away 
as  thev  fell,  v.  iih  my  handkerchief.  I  then  steeped  it  in  my  own 
• — and'  then  in  her's^and  then  in  mine— Lind  then  I  wiped  her's 
again — and  as  I  did  it,  I  felc  such  uadiscribabic  emotions  widiin 
me,  as  I  am  sure  could  not  be  acx;oaated  for  from  any  combintt- 
tionof  matter  and  motion. 

I  am  pnsiiive  I  havo  a  soul ;  nor  can  5JI  the  books  with  which 
materialists  have  pestered  Xb^  world  €ver  convince  me  of  the 
Goairary, 


AND  CONCISE  EXPOSITOR 

W^en  Maria  had  come  a  little  to  her  self,  I  asked  her  if  sl^ 

I  a  pale  thin  person  of  a  man,  who  had  sat  down  be- 

J  her  goat  about  two  years  before.  She  said,  she  -was 

cl  inuchai  that  time,  butremembcred  it  upon  two  accounts 

li  as  she  was,  she  saw  the  person  pitied  her  ;  and  next,that 

her  goat  had  ^.;len  his  handkerchief,  and  she  had  bent  hhn  for 

l^«'  theft — she  had  w:»shed  it,  she  said,  in  the  brook,  and  kejjtit 

r  since  in  her  po'.ktt,  to  restore  it  to  him  incase  she   should 

c  V  cr  see  him  again,  which,  she  added,  he  had  promised  her.  A» 

she  told  me  this,  she  took  the  handkerchief  out  of  her  pocket  to 

'  '  me  see  it ;  she  had  folded  il  up  neatly   in  a  cOuplc    of  vine 

A  es,  tied  round  with  a  tendril— on    opening  it,    1    saw   aii  S 

1  in  one  of  the    corners. 

aad  since  that,  she  told  me,  strayed  as  far  as  Rome,  and 
walked  round  St.  Peter's  once — and  returned  back — that  she 
fcAuul  her  way  alone  across  the  Appennines — ^liad  tra\cllcd 
rallLombard},  without  money — -and  through  the  flinty  roads 
^.  Savoy  without  shoes :  how  she  had  bornt?  it,  and  how  she  h  id 
got  supported,  she  could  not  tell — ^but  God  tempers  the  wind, 
said    JNlaria,  to  the  s'noni  lamb. 

Shorn  indeed  !  and  to  the  qukk,said  I;  and  wast  thou  in  my 
o'An  land,  vvhtHe  I  h  >ve  a  cottage,  I  would  take  thee  to  it  nd 
shelter  thee ;  thou  shouldst  eat  of  my  own  bread  and  ('rink  of 
my  own  cup- — I  would  be  kind  to  thy  Sylvio — in  all  thy  weak- 
ness and  ^v  andei  ings  I  would  seek  after  thee,  and  bring  thee 
back — when  tile  sun  went  down  I  woidd  say  my  prayers,  and 
when  I  had  done,  t  lo.i  shouldst  play  thy  evening  song  upon  tiiy 
^ipe;  nor  would  the  luv'^nseof  my  sacrifice  be  worse  accepted, 
ffM-  entering  heaven  along  with  that  of  a  broken  heart. 

Nutiu-e  melted  within  me,  ;is  I  uttered  this  ;  ;uul  Maria  ob- 
ving  as  I  took  'nit  my  handkerchief,  that  it  was  steeped  tuo 
.^h  already  to  he  o.  use,  would  needs  go  wash  it  in  the  stream

But  the  same  fortune  which  has  thus^aid  you  Under  the  neces- 
si';;y  of  fighting,  has  set  hefore  your  eyes  those  rewards  of  victo- 
rVj  than  which  no  men  are  ever  wont  to  wish  for   greater  from 
the  im-mortal  Gods.     Should  we  by  our  valour  recover  only  Si- 
cily and  Sardinia,  which  were  ravished  from  our  fathers,  thosc- 
would  be  no  inconsiderable  prizes.     Yet  what  are  these  i    The 
wealth  of  Rome,  whatever  riches  she   has  heaped   together  in 
the  spoils  of  nations,  all  tl^jese,  with  the  masters  of  them,  will  be 
yours.     You  have  been  long    enovigh  employed  in  driving  the 
cattle  upon  the  vast  mountains  of  Lusitania  and  Celtiberia  ;  you 
have  hitherto  met  with  no   reward  worthy   of  the   labours  and 
dangers  you  have  undergone.     The  time  is  now    come    to  reap 
the  iFull  recompence  of  your  toilsome   marches  over   so  many 
mountains  ana  rivers,  and  through  so  many  nations,  all  of  them 
in  arms.     This  is  the  place  which  fortune  has  appointed  to   be 
the  limits  of  your  labours  ;  it  is  here  that   you  will   finish  your 
glorious  warfare,  and  receive  an  ample  recompence  of  y:our  com- 
pleted service-      For  I  would  not  have  you  imagine,  that  victory  ' 
will  be  as  difficult  as  the  name   of  a  Roman  war   is  great  and 
sounding.     It  has  often  happened  that  a  despised    enemy   has 
triven  a  bloody  battle,  and  that  the  most  renowned  kings  and  na- 
tions have  by  a  small  force  been  overthrown.     And  if  you  but 
take  away  the  glitter  oi  the  Roman  name,  what  is  there,  where- 
in they  may  stand  in  competition  with  you?     For  (to   say  no- 
thing of  your  service  in  war  for  twenty  years  together  with    so 
much  valour  and  success)  from  the  very  pillars  of  Hercules,  from 
the  ocean,  from  the  utmost  bounds  of  the  earth,  through  so  ma- 
ny warlike  nations  of  Sp'Un  and  (?aul,  are  you  not   come    hither 
victorious  ?     And  v/ith  whom  are  you  now  to  fight  ?     With  raw 
soldiers,  an  undisciplined  army,   beaten,    vanquishtd,   besieged

<iered  the  innocent  inhabitants,  not  only  of  their  precious  wealth,

tender  endearments  of  life,  and  of  the  blessing  and  protection  ot 
their  country  and  dqmestick  Gods,  whom  they  innocently  wor- 
;4iipped  in  their  own  rites.  As  yet,  the  hateful  Furies  had  noj  sc>

bro?^dest  blot  of  human  nature  !)  chain  his  innocent  and  uncff.^n- 
(iing  brother,  task  him,  and  exact  his  sweat  with  stripes,  over 
which  JMercy,  with  a  bleeding  heart,  would  v^^eep,  if  she  saw

While  I  daily  v*tnessed,  Avith    anxiety,  the  fruif- 
less  exertions  of  your*  ardent  mind^,  and  considered  your  young 
understandings  unavaiUngly  perplexed  in  the   search  of  k'nowlr 
edge,  through  the  medium  of  coniiision  and  darkness,  and  saw 
you  neglected  and  slighted  hy   all,  whose  learning  and  abiliii^ 
qualified  them  to  assist  and  forward  \ou,  in    your  laudable  pu 
suit,  and  to  lay  a  foundation  for  your  future  progress  in  learning 
while  tlioy  were  pursuing  their  favourite  and  more  pleasing  st:„

fefitlerent  subjects  of  philosophy  ;^^  and  either  unwilling  to  undeiv, 
take  so  perplexing  and  cheerless  a  work  ;  which  neither  flatterec!

or  looking  upon  you  as  insigniftcant   and  unworthy  of  their  re-

happiness  and  felicity  of  mankind,  thun  to  instruct  the    risit^g

Seeing  you  thus  circumstanced,  and  impress-

make  you  acquainted  with  the  rise,  declention  and  fitll  of  all  thore 
poweifiil  and  populu*  governments,  which  have  been  so  conspi- 
cuou?  in  ihe  world,  and  which  were  reared  and  supported  by 
learring  and  military  virtue,  and  brought  to  slavery  and  ruin  by 
Ignorance,  and  base  voluptuousness. 

The  historv  of  Greece  and  Rome,  with  which  that  of  Carthae,o 
is  interwoven,  will  afford  you  ample  matter  of  surprise  and  ad- 
miration ;  when  you  will  behold  these  renowned  states  rising 
from  poor  and  inconsiderate  beginnings,  subduing  and  bringing 
under  their  dominion,  ail  the  known  nations  of  the  earth,  by  theiA' 
^'alour  and  military  braverv.  When  you  will  see  Codrus  and 
Decius  devoting  themselves  as  willing  victims  for  the  safety  of 
their  people.  When  you  will  behold  the  almost  unequalled  Han- 
nibal, after  overrunning  all  Spain,  crossing  the  Pyrenian  moun- 
tains into  Gaul,  through  which  more  than  dreadfid  country,  he 
passed  in  a  few  davs,  in  spite  of  all  the  combined  opposition  from 
nature  and  from  the  terrific  forces  and  arms  of  tlie  fierce  inha- 
bitants of  the  country,  and  exploring  a  pass  over  the  frightful 
Alps,  and  marching  down  into  the  plains  of  Italy,  with  his  re- 
5aaining  force,  and  threatening  destruction  even  to  the  mistress 
of  the  world;  when  you  will  see  this  h&ro  immortalizing  the 
banks  of  Trebia,  Thrasmene  and  Aufidus,  by  his  victorious  bat- 
tles. When  you  will  see  the  renowned  Cipios  gaining  immor- 
tality, one  for  the  overthrowing  and  reduction  of  the  mighty 
Carthage  ;  the  other  not  more  for  his  victories,  than  for  liis  hu- 
m?iriity  and  moderation.  When  you  will  behold  Mikiades  in  the 
plains  of  ISIarathon,  with  his  little  army  of  Athenian  patriots  op- 
posing and  putting  to  rout,  a  hundred  and  twenty  thousand  men, 
Avhich  composed  the  great  army  of  C}tus,  and  which  advanced 
like  a  mighty  torrent  to  lay  w^aste  the  lands.  When  you  will 
see  Leonidas  and  his  three  hundred  Spartans,  for  two  days,  not 
only  disputing  the  pass  of  Thermopyise  with  Xerxes,  but  even 
repulsing  his  hosts  consisting  of  millions.  When  you  will  be- 
hold Themistocles  ot  the  straits  of  Salamis,  with  an  inconsider- 
ate force  destroying  the  whole  Persian  fleet.  With  what  delight 
will  you  survey  the  fields  of  Platea  rendered  glorious  by  the  en- 
lire  overthrow  of  three  hundred  thousand  fighting  men,  the  re- 
f\iains  of  that  army  v.hich  Xerxes  brought  into  Greece,  of  which 
scarcely  one  was  left  to  return  with  the  news.  But  these  heroes 
were  freemen  and  warriors,  and  taught  from  their  child-hood  to 
abhor  slavery  as  a  monster  more  frightful  tlian  death,  and  to 
-worship  liberty  as  tJie  greatest  of  Goddesses,  and  being  animat-

tremities of  heat  and  cold,  the  several  degrees  of  both,  without 
any  Inconvenience  from  cither.  It  will  show  you  how  to  pass,  as 
quick  as  thought,  from  one  extremity  of  the  eardi  to  the  other,

the  year,  taking  alternate  place  of  each  other,  and  see  one  pole 
of  the  earth  deprived  of  the  suiv's  light  for  six  months,  and  the 
other  enjoying  perpetual  day  for  that  time,  by  the  earth's  annu- 
al revolution  round  the  sun,  and  by  it's  diurnal  revolution  round 
it^s  own  axis,  you  behold  at  the  same  instant,  one  half  of  it's  in- 
habitants lying  in  the  arms  of  sleep,  and  the  other  half  busily 
employed  in  open  day.  It  will  shew  you  the  vaiiegated  inhaiji-

of  their  government  imd  laws,  of  their  manners  and  customs,  of 
the  various  productions  of  their  sun  and  soil,  in  a  word,  it  will 
waft  you  in  a  few  minutes,  over  tliat  circuitous  voyage  round 
the  globe,  which  cost  Admiral  Anson  three  yeai  s  and  a  half  to 
perform.  It  will  prove  to  you  to  demonstration,  the  rotundity 
of  the  earth,  of  which  the  wisest  and  most  It-arned  of  t,)e  an- 
cients, had  but  very  slender  notions,  and  «ill  this  without  the  fa- 
♦.''~!ies,  dangers  and  expenses  of  travelling. 

Ulysses  the  wisest  of  the  Greeks  will  bear  testimony  to  this 
rviscrtion,  who  in  order  to  inform  himself  of  the  wisdom  and 
policy  of  other  nations,  spent  many  years  in  visiting  a  few  ports 
almost  contiguous  to  his  own  coumr\',  and  in  these  researches,  he 
lost  by  far  the  greatest  part  of  his  vessels  and  troops,  which  re- 
turned with  him  from  the  coast  of  Troy  ?  and  had  he  notbc^en  him- 
seU  endowed  with  superior  wisdom  and  forecast,  he  should  have 
fallen  a  victim,  either  to  the  power  and  infatuating  allurements 
«r  the  sorceress  Circe  and  Goddess  Calipso,  or  perished  by  the 
melodious,  but  cruel  harmony  of  the  Sirens.  In  Sicily,  indeed,  his 
destruction  seemed  inevitable,  when  he  strayed  into  the  cave 
of  giant  Polyphemus,  who  supped  that  night  upon  two  of  his 
companions,  itnd  Ulysies  himself  witli  some  others  were  destined

thcr  monster    of  Europe,    is   said   by    the    French  plavers,  to 
load  his  enormous  paunch  with  beef    and  pudding.       But  why- 
do  I  stray  againfrom  my  purpose,  to  lead  you  into  such  frightful 
dangers  v/ith  Ulysse3? 

I  will  now  return,  and  by  the  way  relate  to  yon,  some  of  the 
principal  advantages  which  you  have  over  the  ancients  in  point- 
of  these  sciences  and  of  learning  in  genera],which  I  think,  should 
verv  much  excite  your  ardour  in  the  pursuit  of  knowledge.  You; 
have  the  advantage  of  all  the  inquisitive  rese«arches,  and  ingeni- 
ous inventions  ot  all  the  great  m«n,  who  have  been  endowed 
with  supericur  abilities  and  understanding  from  the  beginning  of 
time. 

The  advanta>.^e  of  the  increasing  experience  of  ages,  has  open- 
ed to  you,  all  those  avenues  of  knowledge  which  had  been  shut 
out  from  their  inquisitive  mind^**  The  Compass,  whose  strange 
and  invaluable  virtue  has  been  the  abundant  source  of  discoveries 
and  intelligence,  had  not  been  knov/n  until  thirteen  hundred, 
without  which  it  was  more  than  madness  to  attempt  the  intmense, 
and  unknown  oceans. 

The  art  of  printing  had  not  been  known  until  fourteen  hun* 
dred  and  thirty  ;    the  want  of  which  shut  out  the  great    bulk  of 
mankind  4rom    any    knowledge  of  letters,    among  whom,  must 
have  been  many  Homers,  Virgils,  Archimedeses,  Newtons,  De- 
mostheneses,   Ciceros    and  even   Orpheuses,    who   could    have 
gone  down  to  dreary  Orcus.  to  regain  their  uridices. 
''  But  knowledge  to  jtheir  eyes  her  ample  page

And  froze  the  genial  current  of  the  soul."

c6s  of  great  mcinent,  by  a  number  of  emphaticai  words,  his  hearers  vnif" 
pay  no  regard  to  them.    To   use  emphasis,  therefore,   too  frequently, 
prcdaces  as  bad  an  effect  as  nr  t  to  use  them  at  alh 

Sec.  3  Of  Pau-nes. — A  pause,  or  rest,  in  speakint^  or  reading,  is  a 
f^essation  of  voice  for  a  perceptible  time*  Pauses  are  necessary  both  t 
speakers  and  hearers — to  the  speaker,  that  he,  in  that  time,  may  tak 
iiis  breath  and  relieve  the  organs  of  speech,  vvhich  would  other\\ise  soo.^ 
b^  tired  by  continual  action — to  the  hearer,  that  the  ear  may  be  relieved 
irom  being  obliged  to  attend,  without  ceasing  to  a  continued  sound  of 
voice.  Hy  pauses  the  uixlerstanding  has  also  sufficient  leisure  to 
mark  the  difference  cf  sentences,  and  the  several  members  of  sen- 
tences. 

'SVr.  4 — Some  pauses  are  emphaticai,  others  mark  the  distinction? 
'  z>f  the  sense.  An  emphaticai  pause  is  made  after  scmethin'g  of  impor- 
tance has  been  said,  upon  which  the  speaker  wishes  t-o  hx  the  attention  of 
the  audience.  The  speaker  often,  before  such  a  thing  is  said^  ir.trcdu- 
ccs  it  with  a  pause  ri  this  nature.  Care  should  be  taken  not  to  repeat 
:-uci\  pauses  too  frequently.  Emphaticai  pauses  generaliy  excite  great 
attention,  and  con.seqnently  raise  gieat  expectation  in  the  hearers  ;  if, 
therefore,  the  importance  of  the  subject  does  not  answer  the  expeq- 
ration,  such  pauses  produce  diss^ppointmcnt,  and  give  disgust.  Pauses  'in- 
i'i;?.dm^  or  speiiking  should  be  h;rmed  up;  n  tiie  same  principles,  by 
Vs'hich  good  speakers  deln  cv  themscUeh  h-.  C(.mnusn  and  R^-nsible  (^isCoUf^Cv 
There  is  a  general  rule,  Avhich  teaches,  that  the  susptiiding  paufcc  j-hould'^ 
i^smade,  where  the  sense  is  not  complete  ;  and,  the  closing  pause  should 
be  used  when  the  sense  is  complete  and  finished. 

Sec.  5  Of  Tones. — Tones  consist  in  the  notes  and  various  sounds, 
which  are  employed  to  express  our  sentiments.  There  is  not  an  act  of 
the  mind,  and  exertion  of  the  fancy,  or  an  emotion  of  the  heart,  which 
has  not  its  peculiar  ^one,  or  note  of  voice,  by  which  it  is  to  be  expressed  ; 
and  which  is  suited  exactly  to  the  degree  of  internal  feelings.  It  is  in  the 
right  use  of  these  tones,  that  the  life,  spirit,  beauty  and  harmony,  of  de- 
ivery  consists. 

Sec.  6. —  As  the  art  of  reading  depends  greatly  upon  the  due  nianage- 
TTient  of   the  breath,  it  should  be  used  mith  great  economy — the  voice 
siior.W  be  relieved  at  every  stop — slightly  at  a  comma,  with  more  leisure 
at  a  semi-colon,  or  colon,  and  at  a  period,  the  reader  should  take  in  his 
full  supply  of  breath.     By  due  attention  to  thvs  rule,  the  reader  will  pre- 
vent a  broken,  faint  and  lauguid  voice,  which  is  a  usual  fault  ;     by  this 
rule  the  reader  or  speaker  will  be  enabled  to  preserve  the  due  com 
in  and  of   his  voice,   and  to  pronoimce-the  longest    sentence  with   ease 
to  acquire  freedom  and  energy  in  his  expressions ;  while  he  commuh> 
Cfetes  his  ideas,  his  emotions,  and  passions.

By  doctrines  fashion 'd  to  the  varying  hour  ; 
Par  other  aims  his  heart  had  learn'd  to  prize, 
More  skill'd  to  raise  the  wretched  than  to  rise. 
His  house  was  known  to  all  the  vagrant  train, 
He  chid  their  wanderings,  but  reliev'd  their  pain, 
'i'he  long  remembcr'd  beggar  was  his  guest, 
Whose  beard  descending  swept  his  aged  breast; 
The  ruin'd  spendthrift,  now  no  longer  proud, 
Claiai'd  kindred  there,  and  had  his  Claims  allow'd  ; 
The  broken  soldier,  kindly  bade  to  stay  ; 
Sat  by  his  fire,  and  talk'd  the  night  away  ; 
Wept  o'er  his  wounds,  or  tales  of  sorrow  done, 
Shoulder'd  his  crutch,  and  show'd  how  fields  were  won 
Pleas'd  with  his  guests,  the  good  man  learn 'd  to  glow,, 
And  quite  forgot  their  vices  in  their  woe; 
Careless  their  merits,  or  their  faults  to  scan, 
His  pity  gave  ere  charity  began. 

Thus  to  relieve  the  wretched  was  his  pride. 
And  even  his  failings  iean'd  to  Virtue's  side  : 
But  in  his  duty  prompt  at  ever}'  call, 
He  watch'd  and  wept,  he  pray'd  and  felt  for  all. 
And,  as  a  bird  each  fond  endearment  trys, 
To  tempt  its  new-fledg'd  oifspriag  to  the  skies; 
He  try'd  euch  art,  reprov'u  each  dull  delay, 
AUur'd  to  brighter   worlds,  and  led  the  way. 

Beside  the  bed,  where  parting  life    was  laid. 
And  sorrow,  guilt,  and  pain,  by  turns  dismay'd, 
The  reveren'd  champion  ^tood.     At  his  controul^ 
23espair  and  anguish  fled  thie  struggling  soul ; 
■Comfort  came  down,  the  trembling  wretch  to  raise, 
And  his  last  falt'ring  accents  whisper'd  praise. 

At  church,  with  meek  and  unaffected  grace. 
His  looks  adorn, d  the  venerable  place  ; 
Truth  fro  fl  his  iijjs  prevail'd  with  double  sway, 
And  tools  wl^o  came  to  scoU,  remain'd  to  pray. 
The  serv  ice  past,  around  the  pieus  man, 
With  ready  zeal,  each  honest  rustic  ran  ; 
3i,'en  children  follow'd  with  endearing  wile, 
And  pluck'd  his  gown,  to  share  the  good  man's  smilg  ; 
Rls ready  smile  a  parent's    warmth  exprest. 
Their  welfare  pleas'd  him,  and  their  cares  distrest^ 
To  them  his  heart,  his  love,  his  griefs  were  giv'n, 
But  all  his  serious  tht-ughts  had  rest  i».  Heav'ii. 
As  some  tall  cliff  that  lifts  its  awful  form. 
Swells  from  the  vale,  and  midway  leaves  the  storm. 
The'  round  its  breast  the  rolling  clouds  are  spread, 
Eternal  sunshine  settles  on  its  head.

A^'THONY's  FUNERAL  ORATIOX  OVER  C.^SAR's  BOPV 

Friends,  Romans.  Countrymen,  lend  me  your  ears, 
1  come  to  bury  Caesar,  not  to  praise  him. 
The  evil  that  men  do,  lives  after  them  ; 
The  good  is  often  interred  with  their  'bones  ; 
-S©  let  it  be  with  Cjssar  I  Noble  Brutfis 
Hath  told  you,  Cxsar  was   ambitious; 
If  it  were  so,  it  was  a  grievous  fault ; 
And  grievously  hath  Cxsar  answer'd  it. 
Here  under  leave  of  Brutus,  and  the  rest, 
(For  Brutus  is  an  honorable  man, 
■sfto  are  they  all,  all  honorable  men) 
Come  I  to  speak  in  C^csar^s  funeral. 
He  was  my  friend,  faithful  and  just  tome^ 
But  Brutus  says,  he  was  ambitious ; 
And  Brutus  is  an  honorable  man. 
He  hath  brought  many  captives  kome  to  Rome, 
VVhuse  Hansoms  a^  ihe  gei^eral  coffers  fill ; 
Did  tUjs  in  Cjcsar  seem  ambitiou&f' 
When  that  the  poor  have  cry*d,  Cxsarhath  wept; 
Ambition,  should  be  made  of  sterner  stuff 
Yet  Brutus  says,  he  was  ambitious  ; 
And  Brutus  is  an  honorable  man. 
You  all  did  see,  that  on  the  LujDercal, 
1  thrice  presented  him  a  kingly  crown  ; 
Which  he  did  thrice  refuse.    "Was  this  ambition  ? 
Yet  Brutus  says,  he  was  ambitious  ; 
And,  sure,  he-is  an  honorable  man. 
I  speak  not  to  disprove  what  Brutus  spcke. 
But  here  J  am  to  speak  what  I  do  know. 
You  all  did  love  him  once,  not  without  cause. 
What  cause  with-holds  you  then  to  mourn  for  him! 
O  judgment !  thou  art  fled  to  brutish  beasts. 

And  men  have  lost  their  reason. — Bear  with  me. 

My  heart  is  in  the  coffin  there  with  Cjcsar, 
And  I  must  pause  till  it  corns  back  to  me. 

If  you  have  tears,  prepare  to  shed  them  now. 
You  all  do  know  this  mantle  :  I  remember 
The  first  time  ever  Cicsar  put  it  on, 
'Twas  on  a  summers  evening  in  his  tent. 

That  day  he  overcame  the  Ncrvii . 

Loo  k  i  In.  this  place  ran  Cassius'  dagger  through  * 

See    what  a  rent  the  envious  Casca  made. .

they  extend  their  kind  influence  almost  through  all  the  circles  oa 
yefineci society  and  friendly  intercourse  with  mankind. 

The  happy  consequence  of  this  filial  dut}-  naturally  leads  ouri 
youth  to  love  honour  and  obey  their  instructers  ;  to  esteem  them 
as  the  tender  fosterers  of  their  mind,  which  is  by    far,  the  most* 
noble  part ;  to  look  upon  them   as  the  sources,  from  which  they 
derive  the  sentiments  of  honour  and  probity  towiucs  mrnkind 
and  pietv   owardsthtir  Creator. — The  gen;kmanly  conduct  and

their  love  and  respect  for  their  ttitcrs*     Their    prudent   parents 
unci  guardians  are  righty   persuaded  indeed,  that  esteem  and 
love  for  their  teachers  is,  by  far  a  grerter    incitement   to  learn, 
than  all  the  severity,  which  ecn  be  made  use  of-— This  we  daily 
see  exemplyfied  by  several  excellent  European   teachers,    Mho 
had  been,  themselves  compelled  to  lesrn  by  the  very  ungentle 
i^ifiuence  of  stripes,  and  who  here  <:ndeavouv  to  make  the  same 
means   effectual    with  their    own  pupils  ;  but   experience  soon

'the  delicate  feelings  of  the  freoborn  children  of  American  citi-

the  fcrmer  will  not  bear  the  lash,  while  the  latter  v/ill  not  learn 
without  the  timely  aid  of  wholesome  fiageilatipn.     Indeed  therq 
"is  a  maxim  which  will  hold  good  in  every  countr)',  that  the  chil- 
dren cf  proper  parents  seldom  require  correction  at  school ;  and 
when  it  happens  cthenvise,  it  is  a  shure  indication  of  a  perverse

•t,  as  a  severe  vel^eike  to  the  propriety  of  their  own  conduct,  to 
hav£  their  children  corrected  at  school ;  and  we  should  look  upon

THE  SLAVERY  OF  VICE. 

The  slavery  produced  by  vice  appears  in  tlie  dependence  un- 
tier  which  it  brings  the  sinner,  to  circumstances  of  external  for- 
tune.    One  of  the  favourite  characters  of  liberty,  is  the  indepen- 
dence it  bestows.-     He  who  is  truly  a  freeman  is  above  all  servile 
compliances,  and  abject  subjection.     He  is  able  to  rest  upon  him- 
self ;  and  while  he  regards  his  superioii^s  v/ith  proper  deference, 
neither  debases  himself  by  cringing  to  them,  nor  is  tempted  to 
purchase  tkeir  favour  by  dishonourable  means.     But  the  sinner 
Has  forfeited  every  privilege  of  this  nature.     His  passions  and 
habits  render  him  an  absolute   dependent  on  the   world,  and  the 
world's  favour  ;  on  the  uncertain  goods  of  fortune,  and  the  fickle 
Humours   of  men.     For  it  is   by  these  he  subsists,  and  among 
these  his  happiness  is  sought ;  according  as  his  passions  deter- 
mine him  to  pursue  pleasures,  riches,  or  preferments.     Having 
iiO  fund  within  himself  vv^hence  to  draw  enjoyment,  his  only  re- 
source is  in  things  w^ithout.     His  hopes  and  fears  all  hang  upon 
the  world.     He  partakes-in  all  its  vicissitudes  ;  and  is  moved  and 
.  ;^kaken  by  every  wind  of  fortune.     This  is  to  be,  in  the  strictest 
sense,  a  slave  to  the  world, 

"  Eeligioa  i-nd  virtue,  on  the  other  hand,  confer  on  the  mind 
prindples  of  noble  independence.  "  The  vipright  man  is  satisfi- 
ed from  himself."  He  despises  not  the  advantages  of  fortune, 
but  he  centres  not  his  happiness  in  them. .  With  a  moderate 
shiue  of  them  he  canbe  coateated;  and  contifntment  is  felicity.

Hnppy  in  hh  own  intej^ity,  conscious  of  the  esteem  of  good 
men,  ix^posing  firm  trust  in  the  providence,  and  the  promises  of 
God,  he  is  exempted  from  servile  dependence  on  other  Uiings. 
He  can  wrap  himself  up  in  a  good  conscience,  and  look  forward 
without  terror,  to  the  change  of  the  world.     Let  all  things  shift 
around  him  as  they  please »  he  believes  that,  by  the  Divine  ordi- 
nation, they  shall   he  made  to  work  together  in  the  issue  of  his 
good  :  and  therefore,  having  much  to  hope  frojn  God,  and  little 
to  fear  frcm  the  world,  he  can  be  easy  in  every  state.     One  who 
possesses  within  himself  such  an  establishment  of  mind,  is  truly 
free.     But  shall  I  call  that  man  free,  who  has  nothing  that  is  his 
own,  no  property  assured  ;  whose  very  heart  is  not  his  own,  but 
rendered  the  appendage  of  external  things,  and  the  sport  ot  for- 
tune ?     Is  that  man  free,  let  his  outward    condition   be   ever  so 
splendid,  whom  kis  imperious  passions  detain  at  their  call,  whom 
they  send  forth  at  their  pleasure,  to  drudge  and  toil,  and  to  beg 
his  ow  n  enjoyment  from  the  casualties  of  the  world  ?  Is  he  free, 
who  must  flatter  and  lie  to  compass  his  ends  ;  who   must   bear 
with  this  man's    caprice,  and   that   man's  scorn  ;    must  profess 
friendship  where  he  hates,  and  respects    where   he    contemns ; 
"who  is  not  at  liberty  to  appear  in  his  own  colours,  nor  to   speak 
in  his  own  sentiments  ;  who  dares  not  be  honest,  lest  he   should 
be  poor  ? — Believe  it,  no  chains  bind  so  hard,  no  fetters    are  so 
heavy,  as  those  that  fasten  the  corrupted   heart  to  this  treacher- 
ous w'orli ;  no  depend,;nce  is  more  contemptible  dian  that   un- 
der which  the  voluptuous,  the  covetous,  or  the   ambitious    man, 
li^es  to  the  means  ol  pleasure,  gain  or  power.     Yet  this    is    the 
boasted  liberty,  which  vice  promises,  as  the  recompense  of  set- 
gus  free  from  the  salutary  restraints  of  virtue.

underslood.  H«  is  one^vho  makes  it  his  constant  rule  to  follow 
tlie  road  of  duty,  according  as  the  word  of  (iod,  and  the  voice 
of  his  conscience,  point  it  out  to  him.  He  is  not  guided  merely 
by  affections,  m  hich  may  sometimes  give  the  colour  of  virtue 
a  loose  and  unstable  character.  The  upright  man  is  guided

nothing  but  what  is  honourable  ;  and  to  abhor  whatever  is  baSe  v 
and  unworthy,  in  moral  conduct.  Hence  we  find  him  ever  the 
same  ;  at  all  times,  the  trusty  friend,  the  affectionate  relation,  the 
conscientious  man  of  business,  the  pious  worshipper,  the  public 
spirited  citizen.  He  assumes  no  borrowed  appearance.  He 
seeks  no  mask  to  cover  him ;  for  he  acts  no  studied  part ;  but  he 
is  indeed  what  he  appears  to  be,  full  of  truth,  candour,  and  hu- 
manity. In  all  his  pursuits,  he  knows  no  path  but  the  fair  and 
direct  one ;  and  would  much  rather  fail  of  success,  than  attain  it 
by  reproachful  means.  He  never  shows  us  a  smiling  counten- 
ance, while  he  meditates  evil  against  us  in  his  heart.  He  never 
praises  us  among  our  friends ;  and  then  joins  in  traducing  us 
among  our  enemies.  We  shall  never  find  one  pan  of  his  char- 
acter at  varience  with  another.  In  his  mramers,  he  is  simple  and 
unaffected  ;  in  all  his  proceedings,  open  and  consistent.

down  upon  his  bed  of  straw,  and  it  is  thou  who  liftest^him  up  to

thee,  and  this  is  thy  divinity  which  stirs  within  me  :  not,  that  in 
some  sad  and  sickening  moments,  "-  my  soul  shrinks  back  upon 
herself,  and  startles  at  destruction"- — mere  pomp  of  words  ! — but 
that  I  feel  some  generous  joys  and  generous  cares  beyond  my- 
self— all  comes  from  thee,  great,  great  Sensorium  of  the  world  V 
which  vibrates,  if  a  hair  of  our  head  but  falls  upon  the  ground^" 
in  the  remotest  desert  of  thy  creation.  -  Touched  with  thee,  Eu- 
genius  draws  my  curtain  when  I  languish;  hears  my  tale  of 
symptonls,  and  blames  the  weather  for  the  disorder  of  his  nerves. 
Thou  givest  a  portion  of  it  sometimes  to  the  roughest  peasant 
who  traverses  the  blackest  mountains.  He  finds  the  lacerated 
lamb  of  another's  fiock.  This  moment  I  behold  him  leaning  with 
his  head  against  his  crook,  with  piteous  inclination  looking  down 
upon  it — Oh !  had  I  come  one  moment  sooner  ! — it  bleeds  to 
death — his  gentle  heart  bleeds  with  it. 

Peace  to  thee,  generous  swain  !  I  see  thou  walkest  off  with 
anguish — but  thy  joys  shall  balance  it;  for  happy  is  thy  cottage, 
and  happy  is  the  sharetof  itj  and  happy  are  the  lambs  which

was  nothing  in  the  sentence-— it  was  one  of  your  self-evident. 
truths  we  have  the  advantage  of  hearing  every  day  ;  and  it  Trim

ON  GRATITUDE. 

"yhete  is  not  a  more  pleasing  exercise  of  the  mind,  tl-.an  gra^. 
tuck.  It  is  accompanied  with  so  gre-^t  inward  satisfaction,  that 
the  duty  is  sufficiently  rewarded  by  the  performance.  It  is  not, 
like  the^Jpractice  of  many  other  virtues,  difficult  and  painful,  but 
attended  with  so  mr  ch  pleasure,  that  were  there  no  positive 
rommand'which  enjoined  it,  nor  any  recompense  laid  up  for  it 
hereafter,  a  generous  mind  would  indulge  in  it,  for  che  natural 
-Jp^tification  which  it  affords. 

If  gratitude  is  due  from  man  to  man,  how  nnuh  more  iioni 
man  to  his  Maker?  The  supreme  being  does^noi  only  confer  uiwn 
us  those  bounties  which  proceed  more  immediately  from  his 
hand,  but  even  those  benefits  n^'  a  are  conveyed  to  us  by  oth- 
ers. Every  blessing  we  tni  hat  means  soever  it  mty  be 
derived  upon  us, is  tbr  gii*  '>  is  ih«"  <;^reat  Author  of

EPITAPH. 

Hew  lov'd,  how  valu'd  once,  avails  thee  not, 
To  v/hom  related,  or  by  whom  begot: 
A  heap  ot  dust  alone  remains  of  thee  ; 
'Tis  all  thou  art,  and  all  the  proud  shall  be. 

SELF-GOVERNMENT. 

May  I  govern  my  passions  with  absolute  sway  ; 
And  grow  Avber  and  better  as  life  wears  away. 

SHEPHERD. 

On  a  mountain,  stretch' d  beneath  a  hoary  willow.

SOLITUDE.* 

O  sacred  solitude  :  divine  retreat ! 

Choice  ol  the  prudent !    envy  of  the.,  great ! 

Bv  th\  pure  stream,  or  in -thy  waving  shade, 

We  i  curt  fjiir  Wisdom,  that  celesticd  maid  : 

The  genuine  offspring  of  her  lov'd  embrace, 

(Strangers  on  earth)  are  Innocence  and  peace. 

There  from  the  ways  of  men  laid  safe  ashore, 

We  smile  to  hear  the  distant  tempest  roar  : 

There,  bless'd  with  health,  with  business  unperplex^d 

This  life  we  relish,  and  ensure  the  next. 


*By  solitiide  here  is  meant,  a  temporary  seclusion  from  -Uie  wofi^f"
